I'm a "worldschooler" with 10+ years of full-time travel under my belt (not all under my own steam, obviously). I've visited 6 continents, but have a long ways to go yet and much to learn. I'm passionate about building community, learning from each new experience, and seeing the world little by little. I fund my adventures via a series of online pursuits that include teaching creative writing, freelance writing, and social media management. Travel is about the people you meet and the growth of your worldview & comfort zone. Let's talk!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Finally joined Couchsurfing in hopes of meeting other incredible travelers and travel-minded hosts around the world! I grew up couchsurfing and have had wonderful experiences through the community. I'd love to continue meeting hosts around the world. And hey, if you're ever in Kingston, hit me up and I'll give you the grand tour.

Music, Movies, and Books

E.L.O. all the way. Alternative hits and old folk music. I play the fiddle pretty well, enjoy guitar, and sometimes a bit of mandolin.
Books? I used to read, but now I'm a university student and spend all my time reading assigned works. Boo. In the summer I like to read books on the marvels of astrophysics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a location-independent income stream and became fully self-sufficient at age 20, took off to travel the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tons of travel stories, fun banter, and I'm a pretty good dishwasher to boot. Happy to trade my services in cleaning, teaching, and/or music-making for some floor space to sleep on.
